Our pastor taught us that “The Bible is a better interpreter than any commentary. Scripture is truly the greatest interpreter of Scripture.” This is so true! Many are so good at twisting Scripture to say what they want it to say rather than examining the context of the passage and cross referencing it with other verses to find out the author’s intent and what the author actually meant. Let’s take a look at a verse and how many take it…
She wrote and told me that her husband isn’t “happy” being married with children. He wants to leave his family because he’s attracted to other men. He wants to become a sodomite. He thinks this will make him happy. I wrote about a man many years ago who was attracted to other men but married a woman and had children with her. He wanted a family, so he put away his own sexual desires to have one. I found out…
Here are snippets from an article by Dale Partridge. I encourage you to read the entire article. It is sorely needed today. Instead of supporting a lukewarm church, find a solid, biblical church to attend faithfully and support. As for the pastoral dress, the suit has gone to the garbage and has been replaced with skinny jeans, a necklace, and a swoop-cut shirt that looks like a repurposed woman’s blouse. But it doesn’t stop there, we have pastors using phrases…
“Dear Lori, I have found your blog in recent weeks and have spent a great deal of time going through it. I think your doctrine is sound but sometimes I just can’t fathom how to live this way. I am a man, turned 21 and in flight school, and men are very wicked. “Do you know how many men in the world beat their wives mercilessly? Men rape and steal and kill. Our nature is aggressive, and it causes us…
Women tend to look at what worked for them rather than examining the big picture. This is why I am not a fan of the 19th amendment. I will give you a few examples. College. Whenever I speak against college, undoubtedly there will be women who will tell me they met their husbands at college and have a back-up plan in case something happened to their husbands. This is great BUT look at the big picture! College has wreaked havoc…
Written By Nancy Campbell in her Magazine Above Rubies Deception has taken hold of our culture in much greater ways. Things that were abhorrent in the secular word are now often accepted in the Christian world. The gross darkness of sin is creeping over the earth. Now is the time to shine brighter than ever, to speak the truth more boldly, to rise up and reveal the glory of God more fully. In this day when most mothers continue to…
Women believe their husbands should meet their emotional needs, whatever that means. Here’s what Psychology Today said about this: “The idea of ’emotional needs’ is one of the more harmful notions of pop psychology. The term came into popular discourse in the 1980s, as part of what is known as the culture of self-obsession, which has grown steadily, as scores on measures of narcissism indicate.” I am not a fan of psychology, but I agree with this completely. I tried…
A woman asked John Piper if it was okay for women to become police officers. He answered her here. I will give a few comments from his article and then respond. “And here’s my conviction: to the degree that a woman’s influence over a man — guidance of man, leadership of man — is personal and directive, it will generally offend a man’s good, God-given sense of responsibility and leadership, and thus controvert God’s created order. To an extent, a…
God commands I teach younger women biblical womanhood in Titus 2:3-5. It’s not easy in this feminist day and age. I don’t shy away from teaching women anything about being godly women, including modesty, gluttony, obedience to husbands, being keepers at home and silent in the churches, sexual purity before marriage, having meek and quiet spirits, being shamefaced and discreet, and so on. Nothing is off limits in what I teach to women. Women are often offended by what I…
Written by Richard Baxter (1615-1691) 1. Gluttony is a sin exceedingly contrary to the love of God—it is idolatry! What an odious, swinish, damning sin it is—for a man’s heart to be set upon his belly! 2. Gluttony is self-murder! Though it does not kill suddenly—it kills surely! 3. Gluttony is a deadly enemy to the mind, and to all the noble employments of reason. 4. Gluttony dulls the body as well as the mind. It makes men heavy, and…
